      Perfectly put! Greg, your superb gift transforms us directly into the tale. And then...we remember...it is you doing the spot on inflection, the voice of each character and the air of curiosity in the air! It transforms us. Thank you. Each time finish another, we rub our hands together in anticipation for the evening time. Like getting a wonderful text from a grand friend!

    Whenever one has been away for awhile, listening to this and that on librivox, one feels like coming home to the very heart of the art of reading. Ah, mr. Wagland, Sir, thank you so much for regaling us with the precious fruits of your work!

    I've always loved this story, being something of a Boulnois myself. Content in my oen little wrld of blissful underachievement, at least in some ways. I even pretended to be the "housesitter" at my own front door on one occasion (press prying into the private life of one of my neighbours!), for I was young at the time. In subsequent years I would have told them where their hook could be slung! Ha! I really enjoy these Father Brown narrations. He's such an endearing character. I went to an RC primary school and when we hit the age of 11 we were allowed to read the Father Brown books if deemed suitably mature. I devoured them!

    This story is a classic example of Chesterton's wit and wisdom. The plot is engrossing and thought-provoking, and the narration enhances the experience, making it a must-listen for fans of classic detective stories.Thank you!

    Your reading, as always Mr. Wagland, is excellent.
    Some Father Brown stories drag along until I’m ready to throw something! But this one clips along at a fine pace. I suffered no pangs listening till the end at one sitting.

    So wonderfully read, Greg. I also prefer more ACD. Chesterton's prose feels fussy to me, yet more flat than expressive. That "Green Flag" by ACD was a corker. On the other, your reading/acting talent makes even Chesterton interesting.

    Hey Greg, I was listening to your wonderful narration of The Hound of The Baskervilles, and I couldn't help but wonder why no ads played prior to the video. I played a few other videos on your channel and it was evident that that was not an isolated incident. To get to the crux of my question, has TH-cam disabled ads on your channel? If so, do you have other means of earning money?

  • @mariacombs8775
    @mariacombs8775 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    • @sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio
      @sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      No ads except beginning and end.

    • @evelanpatton
      @evelanpatton 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      This channel maintains the exception to the advertising rule; however, giving a little as a THANK$! can make a difference in keeping the stories clear of interruptions- just a little something to keep in mind, these folk deserve to have their time, energy, talents, literary wisdom, & dramatic arts acknowledged with financial renumeration, so having two ads prior to the start of the story & at the end is crediting where credit is due. There are other opportunities for AMSR Sleep Apps/Podcasts for a non-ad experience; though, I personally credit this channel with helping save my sanity & that is priceless! 🕊️🌎🌏🌏🧿📚📖💙

    Around again, bc, it is a rather good one, isn't it? A very strange one, too, I think, starting with the inexplicably spooky walk up to the castle grounds and then the sudden and absolute abandonment of the figure with whom we'd entered the story. I deeply like the idea of a shallow poser so vexed by indifference of a deep thinker that he'd kill himself out of sheer desperation - even the attempt to blame the professor seeming to have been an afterthought.
